RJ-45 Ports
The repeater has eight RJ-45 ports that let you connect UTP or STP cabling to
workstations and servers in an Ethernet network.
Uplink Switch
The uplink switch enables the 8th port on the repeater to function as either a
standard IN RJ-45 port or an uplinkable OUT” RJ-45 port.
IN ports use an internal crossover of the receive and transmit lines, enabling
the port to connect to a network interface card using standard 8-wire UTP
cable. OUT” ports use a straight-through (uncrossed) connection, enabling the
port to connect to any IN port of a second repeater. This allows two repeaters
to be on the same segment.
